Fall Calving In The Intermountain West, Dale R. Zobell, Craig Burrell, Darrell Rothlisberger, Eleanor Jenson
Fall Calving In The Intermountain West, Dale R. Zobell, Craig Burrell, Darrell Rothlisberger, Eleanor Jenson
All Current Publications
Fall calving has been practiced by beef producers for many years, although in small numbers relative to spring calving. The spring calf crop has been a traditional event for most beef producers and probably will continue to be. There are distinct advantages, however, to fall calving which producers could take advantage of. The potential for higher conception and weaning rates, price premiums and the elimination of calf scours are among the reasons some beef producers have switched from spring calving their herd to fall calving.

Forage Kochia For Fall/Winter Grazing, D. R. Zobell, B. L. Waldron, K. C. Olson, R. D. Harrison, H. Jensen
All Current Publications
Winter feeding costs have often been cited as one of the most expensive aspects of beef cattle production in the Intermountain West. Research and rancher experience suggests that using forage kochia for fall/winter grazing may help reduce these costs.

Home Water Self-Check: Do-It-Yourself Water Check For The Home Landscape, Todd A. Mccammon
All Current Publications
In Utah, nearly two-thirds of the water consumed by residential homeowners is used to maintain landscapes. Recent water checks conducted by Utah State University Extension found that a typical homeowner applies 80 inches of water each growing season. This is twice as much as is needed.
Winter Grazing Standing Corn Plants For Beef Cows Under Maintenance Conditions, Dale Zobell, Don Synder, Ken Olson, Randall Wiedmeier
Winter Grazing Standing Corn Plants For Beef Cows Under Maintenance Conditions, Dale Zobell, Don Synder, Ken Olson, Randall Wiedmeier
All Current Publications
Corn is known as a forage crop that has the potential of yielding more energy per acre than any other forage crop in the U.S. Additionally, corn has an advantage as a winter grazing crop because its stem cures well, it stands above the snow, and it stands up in windy conditions as well as providing a windbreak for cattle grazing it.

All Current Publications
The type and amount of concentrate included in beef cattle diets can greatly influence production and profitability. Small grains are typically fed in these rations, but the inclusion of by-product feeds, such as wheat middlings (WM), in growing and finishing diets have recently been studied (Dalke et al., 1997; Blasi et al., 1998).

Designing A Low Water Use Landscape, Teresa Cerny, Kelly L. Kopp, Maggie Wolf, Debbie Amundsen
Designing A Low Water Use Landscape, Teresa Cerny, Kelly L. Kopp, Maggie Wolf, Debbie Amundsen
All Current Publications
A landscape design should meet the needs of the people who will use and maintain the area while incorporating the site’s existing environmental conditions into the design. Water is a limiting resource in Utah, so designing the landscape to efficiently use water is important. Conserving water in the landscape can be accomplished by selecting low water use plants, designing and scheduling irrigation systems efficiently, grouping plants according to their water requirements, and using hardscaping materials (patios, stone paths, decks, etc.) appropriately to reduce the area requiring irrigation.

Efficient Irrigation Of Trees And Shrubs, Teresa A. Cerny, Michael R. Kuhns, Kelly L. Kopp, Mike Johnson
Efficient Irrigation Of Trees And Shrubs, Teresa A. Cerny, Michael R. Kuhns, Kelly L. Kopp, Mike Johnson
All Current Publications
In Utah, urban landscape irrigation accounts for 50-75% of the annual municipal water use, and much of it is applied in excess of the plant’s needs. This excess is a tremendous resource waste and the overspray causes substantial damage to hardscape (i.e., decks, patios, fountains, decorative concrete, etc.). Scheduling irrigation according to landscape plant water needs can reduce excess water use. In addition to conserving water, proper irrigation can encourage deeper root growth and healthier, more drought tolerant landscapes.
Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill
Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill
All Current Publications
The goal of garden irrigation is to maintain yield and quality by replacing water lost to the atmosphere from the soil by evaporation, and from leaf surfaces by transpiration. The combination of evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration (Et), or simply water use. Garden water use is presented in units of inches of water per day, week or month.
